"Lakeside Autumn" Painting the Autumn colours in Sussex


Autumn arriving in Sussex

I have sadly said my farewell to the Summer and I'm now ready to embrace the Autumn in all it's wonderful glory!
Not only does the countryside become ablaze with colour but this is also the season that Sussex comes alive with celebrations of bonfires and fireworks.
Newick never fails to put on a good show .

I'm looking forward to bonfire....bangers ...and of course.....beer! ;)
In the meantime I have planned several walks that will take me through some beautiful woodland that I'm sure will be inspirational! All I need now is a little bit of sunshine as my Autumn companion.
I thought I would start my journey with something small and vibrant, a beautiful scene of still waters and reflections from the village of Slaugham ...

Painting the Autumn reflections at the mill pond in Slaugham, Sussex

My next painting was inspired from a walk I recenty took along the bridle path in South Chailey. The trees are just changing into their Autumn colours and the sun shone through to lighten my way.
A beautiful and serene scene.
